The reserve placement date must be the same as or after the date the health-care incident occurred.

The reserve may be adjusted during the lifetime of a claim. However, the date(s) when the reserve was adjusted should not be reported.

This data element should be used in conjunction with the data element: Date—accuracy indicator, code AAA to flag whether each component in the date is accurate, estimated or unknown.

Comments:

This date is of particular significance in the context of the Medical Indemnity National Collection (MINC) as the placing of a reserve against a matter indicates when it was considered likely to materialise in a medical indemnity claim and so is required to have occurred for a claim to be reported to the MINC.
